Celebrating National Pickleball Day |

National Pickleball Day (August 8th) is the perfect time to celebrate the nation’s fastest growing sport and find the right community that fits your lifestyle. The popular racquet sport is played by using paddles and a plastic ball, and is a sport with a unique combination of badminton, ping-pong, and tennis. Pickleball is packed with social benefits and a competitive spirit, making it a fun and exciting sport to learn and play at any age. When seeking the right neighborhood, it is important to find a community that facilitates the way you want to live your life. Amenities like pickleball courts, which promote an active and social lifestyle are often overlooked but should be a key factor in the homebuying decision.

The more experienced generations are discovering pickleball is a great way to maintain mobility with low impact exercise, helping to prevent injuries and improve cardiovascular health, while still reaping the social benefits of community sports. Fortunately, finding a home in an active and social neighborhood doesn’t mean you have to join an expensive country club.
